No. We shouldn't disable it because then these new users won't be able to add artists to any bands they might submit. I was suggesting that we keep it slow so that the users would be discouraged from adding the line-ups, not barred from altogether.

Apparently the database update is too slow. For example, several days ago, I modified this album. Now if you search *Země* (track 4), you cannot find this album. However, if you search *Zemì*, the mojibaked title, you can find it even if it has already been corrected. This is not the problem of my browser or the temporary internet cache files. I cleared all of them and it doesn't help.

Don't know about anyone else, but should we actually make registering any harder? That troll in the FFA thread refuses to let go, and, like Malignant said, people are poorly responding to them. Sooner or later, we'd be flooded with people bashing us for not including shit band X.

It'll subside as that SYWH article fades in relevancy. There's no reason to start making it harder for potentially valuable posters to join up simply because there's a small, temporary increase in the number of trolls (who can be banned with a couple clicks of a mouse, anyways).

It will not be worse that it is right now. We have at least 3 or 4 butthurt threads/week in the S&C. Nothing we/I can't deal with.

Hm, I suppose, but I would like to see it end sooner or later. We might soon face trolls outside of the internet soon, because I am concerned about how it might progress in humanity.

If it were easy to fix we would have done so already. We tried several solutions already but it always comes back. It's not an obvious fix.

Sorry, that was my bad. I changed something in the history database but it sorta ahem, locked the entire table... So a few history rows might have been lost for a few minutes. Not a big issue, it should work again now.

Sorry if I sounded a bit annoyed. It kinda caught me by surprise since I was adding a line-up to a demo around the time that was down.

Well, looks like we can breath a little easier Tony, the trolls were not the ones that did this.

Not at all. In the album lineup, that is. The "(XYZ cover)" next to the title is enough. Things like "All music by Priest Smashör, except track 6 originally by Bring Me the Horizon." in the notes are okay too, but DON'T add the original composer to the album lineup.
